Red Red Cheeks



Very bright and intimidating, who would have thought I'd wear red blush? Not me for sure.
Lately I've been trying to get out of my comfort zone when it comes to makeup, first with lipsticks and now I'm moving on to blush.
First I picked up Red Cheeks which is a cream blush:

On the left is a heavy swatch where you can tell how pigmented it is, on the right is a very light swatch, and by light swatch I mean barely any product.

Next one is Red which is a powder blush:
         

On the left you can see how pigmented this blush is as well; on the right it's a very light swatch.
 I like Red Cheeks a little bit more just because it has a bit of a dewy finish when applied.

Thanks for reading!

Hello There!!

Hi Lovelies!

Ahh long time no blog! It's been so long I don't even know where to start, but I guess I should start by showing some goodies I've gotten recently no? I haven't been posting as much as I would want to, but I've been taking tons of pics of stuff I've recently purchased.
I do want to tell you first that I've finally tried Inglot eyeshadows and I am in love!
An Inglot counter opened in San Diego (Fashion Valley Mall) towards the end of last year, I found out thanks to a tweet from Tina. I went along with a friend to go check it out the following weekend and we were both  amazed at all the selection they have. I have gotten some shades at the San Diego counter, but I recently took a trip to Las Vegas and visited their store and got a few more. I will share in another post all the shades I've gotten so far and maybe a bit of the trip as well.
After coming back from Vegas, I went for the first time to ULTA, I haven't gone before since it's a bit far from where I live, but I got a few goodies.
2 Real Techniques brushes that were BOGO 1/2 off, 2 NYX eye pencils (also BOGO 1/2 off) a L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Iced Latte and an EOS lip balm, which I've been looking for a while.
But before my trip, I found the Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows, I picked up Bad to the Bronze and Bold Gold.
Lastly, I got the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencils, the set of 5 was $19.00, not bad!
Alrighty, I will show a bit more detailed of the stuff I got during the week.

Hope you have a wonderful day and start of the week!
